. y I. F. HARRISON. v CORN AND COTTON CUTTER AND SCRAPER. n No. 178,759. Patented Iune13.1876.
UNITED STATES IDATmyT OFF-Ion.
ISAAC F. HARRISON, OF RODNEY, MISSISSIPPI.
IMPROVEMENT IN-CORN AND COTTON CUTTERS AND SCRAPERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l 78,769, dated June 13, 1876 application filed May 17, 187 6.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ISAAC F. HARRIs0N, of Rodney, in the county of Jefferson and State ot' Mississippi, have invented a new and Improved Corn and Cotton Cutter and Scraper; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same. A
My invention is an improvement inl implements designedfor scraping or cutting away the sides ot' corn and cotton rows orridges; and consists in a curved or bent blade adapted to be applied to an ordinary plow, and to be adjusted in position to cut away more or less ot' the ridge, and to be detachedl when required, in order to allow the plow to be used for other purposes. t
In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a plan, and Fig. 3 an end view of a plow with my improved critter attached. Fig. 4 is a front view ot' a plow, provided with a modified form of cutter.
A represents the share and B the beam of an ordinary plow. The cutter G is bent at nearly a right angle, its cutting portion a being curved slightlyoutward, as shown. rlhe horizontal portion or arm b is provided with a lengthwise slot to adapt it for attachment to the beam B by means of a screw-bolt,
c, and for adjustment laterally. The curved part cof the cutter is connected to the land-side d ofthe plow by means of a hinge-joint, which is so constructed as to allow the cutter to be readily detached whenever it is desirable to employ the plow for its ordinary work.
' ditions require.
It is obvious that thecutter may be adjusted laterally by loosening the nut of the bolt c, and may be readily clamped in its new position by screwing the nut down on the arm, as shown. Such adjustment adapts it to re move more or less of the earth from the side of the corn or cotton row or ridge, as conv The earth thus1 cut away passes inside the land-side ofthe plow, and is left in such situation iu the furrow as facilitates the subsequent molding operation, to wit: throwing back the loose earth toward and against the side of the ridge.
I show in Fig. 4 a modiiication, the cutter being attached tothe beam by two bolts, and thus supported wholly independent of any connection lwith the land-side d. The cutter' performs its work most efficiently, and may be furnished and applied to a plow at a minimum cost. Itis designed, mainly, for application to the common plow, thus saving to the purchaser the cost ot' a separate plow specially adapted for corn or cotton cultivation.
The cutter, bent or curved, as shown and described, to adapt it for attachment to a plow, and for adjustment laterally, as shown a'nd described.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 16th day of May, 1876.
